As someone who has learned Hindi now for the third time after starting and stopping, this experience with Zabaan has by far exceeded my other language learning experiences. Zabaan has been incredibly accommodating with adjusting to my varying learning styles and preferences, enabling me to try small group classes in person, as well as one-on-one classes virtually, all at times that work well for my schedule. They are incredibly flexible and are always looking to provide students with the best possible learning experience. My teachers Raza, Anshu, and Riya have all worked with me to vastly expand my vocabulary and understanding of grammar, and it’s amazing to see how much my reading comprehension and writing skills have increased as well. Each of them are so talented in making class enjoyable and productive. I’m always able to connect class topics to subjects that I’m personally interested in, and always have so much fun conversing with them. Big cheers to Zabaan for helping me navigate life in India with this beautiful language!

My hindi lessons with Anita have been fantastic! I could not ask for a better Hindi teacher. Zabaan is an excellent choice for abroad-living Desis looking to learn Hindi.

For 3months now, I'm studying Hindi with Tamanna in Zabaan. She is enterprising person. Furthermore, thanks to her I also be able to know India's recent issue and their ways of thinking. I'm really enjoying to study with her. And I‘m certain that I will speak hindi well end of this year-! जब तक मैं Tamanna के साथ हिन्दी अध्ययन करता रहूंगा, मुझे पूरा विश्वास है कि इस साल के अंत तक मैं अच्छी हिंदी बोल लूंगा!

My Urdu classes at Zabaan school for languages have been very good so far. Riya is an amazing teacher who makes it easy to understand grammar and to focus on all parts of language learning, including speaking and writing. I‘m very happy with my choice.

Hi! I’m Dr Mohammed Dawood a PhD in Persian from Jawaharlal Nehru University, where I developed a strong foundation in Indo-Persian languages and literature. My academic journey includes a B.A., M.A., M.Phil, and PhD, all from Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, where I honed my expertise in Persian language and literature. Over the years, I have cultivated a robust skill set for studying classical texts and have become proficient in reading Nas’ta’liq and various Persian manuscripts.
My teaching approach is clear and effective. I begin by understanding my students’ goals and the time they can commit to learning Persian. This allows me to tailor courses specifically to their needs. Once students grasp the basics and recognize letters, I assess their reading and writing skills while diligently addressing any errors from day one.
With experience as a teacher at Mumbai University in the Persian Department and at the American Institute for Indian Studies (AIIS) in Lucknow, I am well-equipped to guide students on their journey to mastering the Persian language.
